Nothing surprises me anymore. Him winning the Hart is a perfect ending to this season. By true definition of this award it should go to Tavares. If he wasn't on the Isles there is no way they make the playoffs. Caps were in the worst division and easiest schedule in the league because of it and could have still made the playoffs. The pens still had success without Crosby.

Media has never voted by the true definition of the award so they should just change it.

It would send a bad message to kids and young players if Ovechkin won. Play up to your talent level half the time and you are good to go. Its OK if you're a lazy POS that drags your team down. A flashy month is good enough.

I'm not saying Ovie should win, but Tavares did zip the last month of the season. Not a PPG player, and finished 17 in the league in scoring. No way he will or should win the Hart. I would have had Kane as a finalist personally.
